You might remember that Brisbane grungesters Violent Soho were interviewed by The Doctor last week about their spanking new single "In The Aisle".

Well, I'm pleased to say that the official video for the single is out now on YouTube and it features me riding a bike in the nick in various areas around Brisbane like Redcliffe, Paddington, Fortitude Valley, King George Square, and the Kangaroo Point Cliffs.

Wearing only a helmet, running shoes and some cheeky pixels on my boy bits - I go around putting up dummy World Naked Bike Ride posters around the place, ordering a drink of water in a swish café amongst all the yuppie businesspeople, engaging random strangers in conversation and having my pic taken by over-enthusiastic punters on the streets.

Not trying to be biased, but it's quite possibly their best song and video to date as it's got a more deeper meaning to it and that's about showing empathy for people who are considered outcasts and freaks by society.

I want to be to the nudist/naturist movement what the Village People were to the gay scene, and what Fiona Horne and JK Rowling were for Wicca and Paganism (i.e. bringing it to mainstream acceptance).

Here's the clip! Share it on all your social networking pages - make it go viral and make it a hit!!

I am working on a nudist and naturist group in Brisbane which is mostly aimed at young adults and people under the age of 45 to help overcome society's fear and shame of the naked human body for future generations. Check it out at Brisbane Nudists on Facebook.

It was quite a nice day which was surprising because the previous few had been cold and wet and I was trying to discuss some alternative muses with the director just in case it was not practical to do the video outdoors.

I've also recently launched my own personal website via Wordpress, and in the blog I state the reasons why I agreed to do the video for the band.

The video has also inspired me to build up a new incarnation of a band I've been trying to get off the ground for aeons called Laissez-Fayre, which is out to endorse nudism/naturism, vegetarianism/veganism, women's rights and equality, and equality for the GBLT movement. It's going to be a mainly female orientated band.

Brisbane is a rather conservative and neurotic city when it comes to social and public nudity, so I want to do what I can to help make it more acccommodating of it - and hopefully eventually become Australia's answer to Cap d'Agde (once the Newman government is out of power!)

Great interview Dario I prefer to be wearing something while riding my bike but i am sure you brightened quite a few peoples lives that day. Be careful of stray dogs and when you are stopping to chat, remember EYE LEVEL!

I love Painters & Dockers! "Nude School" is a classic video and it was their main hit in 1988. I've still got the "Kiss My Art" album which I bought as a tender 17-year-old, it came pressd in hot pink vinyl. Never got to see the band live though.

80's funk pop act Wa Wa Nee made two clips with nudity in them in 1988 and 1989 being "Can't Control Myself" and "So Good".

Indie dance act Ecco-homo also did a pretty raunchy clip in 1988 with "Motorcycle Baby"

Also in 1988, indie band Lubricated Goat appeared fully nude on the defunct ABC TV show Blah Blah Blah. I think their video clip is still available on YouTube.

80's Penthouse Pet Tina Martin did a raunchy rap cover of Marilyn Monroe's classic "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend" in 1989. I saw it once on MTV but it was played only once.

Midnight Oil's "Redneck Wonderland" video from 1998 shows a scene with a male stripper entertaining ladies at a nightclub, and then in the next scene he was walking fully nude down a busy street in Sydney and nobody pays any attention to him.

And who can ever forget Gotye & Kimbra from 2011 covered in only body paint for "Somebody That I Used To Know"?

Nutbag is mild compared to some of the much nastier stuff that was said about me on the defunct Time Off magazine forum a few years ago.

Agreed that if public nudity was liberalised a lot more than many social ailments would disappear such as eating disorders, body image problems (particularly with teens and women) sexual attacks and harassment, unwanted pregnancies and a decrease in the pornography industry. Plus pickpocketing would also go away as everybody will want to wear bumbags instead of stashing their wallets or purses in their pockets.
